Exactly what you referred to them as: drums. In reality, however, you can't call all african drums by one name.....otherwise they would all be the exact same drum haha! Just to give you an idea, here are some of the different types of African Drums:

Djembe

Talking Drum

Bata

Bougarabou

Ngoma

Check out videos and recordings of the different types and you'll realize how unique each drum is!
